Senate Democrats introduced legislation on Thursday to place term limits on Supreme Court justices, reigniting debate around the issue championed by Democrats in the House and the Senate.
I’m talking about how it’s always those who are at a disadvantage that cry foul the loudest. In this case Democrats want term limits because they’re currently in the SCOTUS minority and are looking for ways to shift things to their favor. Yet when they’re in the majority, suggesting something like this would be seen as a miscarriage of tradition or some other such nonsense. For once I’d love to see Democrats take an ethical stand when it doesn’t advantage them. Push for term limits when you have the majority.
You think Democrats would feel any different if they held a majority?
Look at your beloved RBG. She sure didn’t want to give up her appointment…
My beloved? What are you talking about
